Rob has been keeping under the radar when it comes to new project news since finishing up Mickey17. We know he starts production on Batman 2 in November this year, but I can’t imagine Rob doing nothing for 10 or so months. Then this little tidbit was revealed at Deadline today by Baz Bamigboye:

Bumped into Edward Berger, director of Netflix’s Oscar-nominated All Quiet on the Western Front, who was deep in conversation with Robert Pattinson, The Batman star, on the back terrace of Ospero on Sunset.

Actually, I was trying to be unseen, but both Berger and Pattinson greeted me before I could disappear.

…

As I’m about to scoot away, I ask if their meeting is likely to result in anything further down the road. I say that knowing of Pattinson’s cool habit of linking up with filmmakers he admires.

“We’re just having coffee. It’s coffee, Baz,” the actor says

Meanwhile Edward has a few projects in development – a thriller called The Englishman that has Paul Dano rumoured and is at script stage (and we know what a huge fan of Rob’s Paul is – not going to lie, would love to see them in another film together) and then there’s a mystery thriller called Rio that has Benedict Cumberbatch and Jake Gyllenhaal attached although it was in pre-production in May 2017, but has “development unknown” since February 2022.

I believe you Rob that it was just coffee – really I do.
